Car running costs spreadsheet - Welliesorter
In an earlier 'I have a question' thread (www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=13782 ) there was some discussion of spreadsheets to calculate car running costs by entering mileage and fuel consumption.

Did anyone come up with the perfect spreadsheet as a result of this? I know DavidHM had one at the time.

If anyone has such a thing I'd be grateful if they'd send it to me. I'll update my profile to include an e-mail address.

Thanks in anticipation.

[Not added to the current 'I have a question' thread because the subject is motoring-related.]

I use a programme downloaded from CarCare.com. Works out everything for you in any combination of units (litres/KM, Gallons/Miles and Litres/Miles) brilliant. Good personal support from the writer who tweaked some bits for me with a patch.

Are you sure that's the correct site? If I go to www.carcare.com I get redirected to a site called firstplace.com which looks very much like one of those spam web sites set up to fool search engines.

A search of my own did reveal a beginner's guide to creating your own spreadsheet that would serve the purpose: tinyurl.com/2c2cs (Acrobat file). I'm not a spreadsheet expert but this doesn't look terribly hard.

Welliesorter, have sent you a copy of an Excel spreadsheet that I use, hope it's of some use to you.

Sorry about that. It exports to Excel and Pdf files. It has a Windows front end for easy viewing. As I said excellent almost instant support by e-mail.

Thanks to both, especially to Cockle for sending your own spreadsheet. The program mentioned in Pugugly's post also seems worth a look as it's available on free trial.

Hi Cockle

I've been trying to develop an Excel spreadsheet to do the car expenses for my husband's business. May I send what I did to you for some help? I'm getting lost at the more than 10000 miles calculation - I'm okay up to then. Look forward to hearing from you.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
